Lost Soul Lyrics - The Essential Bruce Hornsby - Bruce Hornsby

There was a man of confused and sad nature 

Thought no one loved him, that was not true 

He said, he was a lost soul, didn't fit in anywhere 

Didn't know where to turn or who to turn to 

Oh, there's a lost soul coming down the road 

Somewhere between two worlds 

With an oar in his hand and a song on your lips 

We'll row the boat to the far shore 

Row the boat of the long lost soul 

Ever since, oh, I can remember 

We all tried to ease the pain 

Took him in when he needed some shelter 

Tried to make him feel he was one of us again 

There was one day, oh, I can remember 

He sat alone with a pencil in his hand 

All day long he drew careful on the paper 

In the end just a picture of a man 

Of the lost soul coming down the road 

Somewhere between two worlds 

With an oar in his hand and a song on your lips 

We'll row the boat to the far shore 

Row the boat of the long lost soul 

Oh, dear Mary, do you remember 

The day when we went walking downtown 

As I recall, it was in early December 

After school had just let out 

When I see you on the street in the twilight 

I may tip my hat and keep my head down 

Show me love but maybe I don't deserve it 

I've been called but not, but not found 

Oh, there's a lost soul coming down the road 

Somewhere between two worlds 

With an oar in his hand and a song on your lips 

We'll row the boat to the far shore 

Row the boat of the long lost soul
